Dear MBX FOI,
Thank you Saira,
Please provide your email Saira and I will send article through.
Article appeared in the Hobart Mercury 2nd August 2024 front page "Flying Solo" and page 13 "Lots of noise over airport" Journalist was Mr David Killick.
Article directly quoted ASA Complaints Data - refer to the article.
This article was inflammatory and raised many ethical and privacy issues.
As mentioned above ...this FOI request was made on the 7th August 2024.
Your urgent attention to providing all documents and data provided to the Hobart Mercury / Journalist would be greatly appreciated.
If you are having trouble locating information, please refer to your Head of Community Engagement
- Ms Donna Marshall who is aware of this newspaper article.
Yours sincerely,
Cathy Minnucci

Dear MBX FOI,
Thank you Kathryn,
Thank you for this information.
I am assuming all NCIS contacts are included in this information?
I would also like to respectfully note the following......
The information provided to the Hobart journalist and the perceived public profiling of a resident in a rural community raises serious ethical and privacy issues.
This level of information is not available on your public site.
I would have to question why Airservices Australia would knowingly release such information given the known ongoing community stress and health impacts, from this low, noisy polluting flight path.
Yours sincerely,
Cathy Minnucci
Dear MBX FOI,
With due respect...could I please obtain an answer to my previous question...
I am assuming all NCIS contacts are included in this information?
Is this assumption correct or not??
Yours sincerely,
Cathy Minnucci

It seems strange that the website has nine complainants from Primrose Sands addressing five issues. Primrose Sands is not a vast suburb, yet Airservices Australia feels it is okay to tell a journalist one resident made 1475 complaints. The lack of ethics is beyond belief. What was Airservices Australia hoping to achieve by releasing such information?
